Google announces even more AI in Photos app, powered by Nano Banana
"We're running out of ways to tell you that Google is releasing more generative AI features, but that's what's happening in Google Photos today. The Big G is finally making good on its promise to add its market-leading Nano Banana image-editing model to the app. The model powers a couple of features, and it's not just for Google's Android platform. Nano Banana edits are also coming to the iOS version of the app."
"Google says the updated Help Me Edit feature has access to your private face groups, so you can use names in your instructions. For example, you could type "Remove Riley's sunglasses," and Nano Banana will identify Riley in the photo (assuming you have a person of that name saved) and make the edit without further instructions. You can also ask for more fantastical edits in Help Me Edit, changing the style of the image from top to bottom."
Google is integrating the Nano Banana generative image-editing model into Google Photos, bringing the model to both Android and iOS. Nano Banana accepts an image and natural-language edit instructions to perform targeted and stylistic changes. The Photos app previously offered a conversational 'Help Me Edit' feature using an older model; Nano Banana replaces that with higher-quality results despite some remaining imperfections. The updated Help Me Edit can access private face groups so users can reference saved names for targeted edits, and it supports imaginative or global style changes across an image. The rollout begins now after an earlier October promise.
